    question

    duskyjewel replied to jessnelson719's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Your instincts are good. "That's not true," is negating but also, well....it might be true! We never know how families really are when we're not looking. "Why do you feel that way?" could be okay if...

    Input, please? :-)

    duskyjewel replied to altmer_aldmeri's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    It's not right, I know, but I haven't seen a gait belt used since I left school. However, as a student you were perfectly right. You cannot do that skill without the belt and if you get caught, you...

    Nursing student lacking passion?

    duskyjewel replied to misskate098's topic in General Students

    If I get to start my LPN program in Spring, I'll graduate when I'm 40. If I have to wait until Fall (please no) I'll be 41. You don't get to play the old card. And I am in no way a "calling nurse"...

    please help me

    duskyjewel replied to bebephil's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I work with a nurse who used to be a medical assistant, but not for very long. She told me she actually made more money as a CNA, which to me seems utterly shocking but there it is. So she went back...

    duskyjewel replied to Working4Lord's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I am a hospice CNA. I worked a hospital telemetry unit before this and HATED it. I really like working hospice for a whole lot of reasons, but it will turn into a book if I type it out. So look...

    What is bullying then?

    duskyjewel replied to dudette10's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Yeah, I don't participate on Breakroom much either. Anyone right of center or traditionally religious is completely unwelcome there, and will suffer ridicule and attack. I don't need my blood...

    The hours a CNA works

    duskyjewel replied to janisdoc's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Maybe look for somewhere that runs 12s. My employer allows us to join the float pool and then customize our schedule around school. I already work NOC 12s and plan to continue when I'm in school. I...

    duskyjewel replied to robert1043's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Controlling your girlfriend isn't the answer. Throwing away her property isn't either. You've talked to her, and she continues to wear her visible thongs with light pants. She's choosing this...

    duskyjewel replied to Lvuv's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Since I've had patients purposely urinate and defecate on the floor, I can believe someone would fall on purpose. There are bitter, mean, nasty people out there who will resort to all sorts of...

    Accelerated Program Jitters

    duskyjewel replied to iammargarita19's topic in General Students

    Since I have a previous bachelor's, I'd qualify for the accelerated BSN at the public university near my home once I got all the prereqs done. But I decided against it because I do have a family and...

    How to act on the orientation/first day of school?

    duskyjewel replied to iammargarita19's topic in General Students

    Thank God it's not high school. Junior high and high school were the most miserable years of my life. I was so grateful to bid them farewell, especially as there were a few moments I wasn't sure I'd...
